Very generic sushi place. Fish isn't super fresh, rolls unimagined, whatever service, no ambiance. Definitely not worth making a trip out here, but if you're really craving sushi and in the area this place can be your fix. There's never anyone in
here so your order will come out quick and it is affordable for sushi.
We ordered a Crunch Roll, Caterpillar Roll, Rainbow Roll, Teriyaki Chicken, and 3 Miso Soups and it came out to about $45.
We have lived here in Talega for  9 years and we have been coming here since we moved in! we love Judy and Michael great sushi salmon ahi and albacore are great ! Salmon and yellow tail cheek are good too ! We come once a week and love it ! Clean and good ;) great sake and beer too;)
Review Source:I tried this place yesterday. Hands down - my new favorite sushi joint in San Clemente, although Ichiban is a close second. I ordered 2 rolls. The prices were great, the presentation was amazing, and the taste was even better. The rolls really do come out looking exactly like the picture. Service was fantastic as well. I was actually late to meet a friend here, whose cell phone had died, so I called the restaurant. The woman I spoke to kindly tracked my friend down and told her that I was on my way. Very helpful! And let's face it...no other sushi restaurant in town can boast of that kind of view! All around great!
Review Source:TERRRRRIBLE! Â If you want airport sushi, come here! Â So disappointed! Â I live in the community and this is worse than fast food sushi that I would get at Albertsons two doors down! Â Tempura, soggy and flat. Â I ordered the albacore nigiri and the mexican roll and the salmon dinner with tempura. Â I got slop in my to go bag that I just wanted to throw away when I got home. Â In retrospect, when I came in to order the lady that host and waits was obnoxious and treated me like someone who didn't know what I was ordering. Â She kept pointing at pictures of basic sushi servings like I had no idea what I was doing. Â She stood over me while I ordered and had a very obtuse presence. Â Their menu is VERY limited! Â They didn't even have albacore on the menu. Â
If you like sushi, don't go here. Â I am not sure WHERE to go in San Clemente, but this place is a disgrace to the trade and tradition.
This place is good for quick, fast, and good sushi. It might not be amazing compared to typical nicer sushi restaurants, but for quick lunches, it gets the job done. The veggie rolls and crunch rolls (yes, i know, not "real" sushi for some) are quite good and very cheap. Perfect for a really quick, relatively healthy fast food (if you're opting for something fresher and healthier than the line of fast food places in the same Wal-Mart plaza).
If you're looking for a nice ambiance sushi restaurant, don't go here.
If you're looking for a quick 10-15 min lunch, I recommend it.
This place is an amazing testament to free market capitalism. They must be funded by the government or been declared too big to fail! I hate to admit that I have eaten here more than once. The last time is going to be be the last time!
They have a big tv behind the bar and BOTH times I ate at the bar they were playing an old ABBA concert! Really?!
The hostess is a bitter Korean woman and will kill any good vibe you might have when you walk in. I prefer the fish at the local Ralphs market to the fish here.
Please do yourself a favor and take a pass on Sono.
The Sushi was simple and delicious. Â They gave us extra sauce and free drink refills. Â The sushi chef has a great sense of humor and we watched '80's music videos as we ate, the entire restaurant was laughing. Â Sushi Sono is not expensive. Â Its a great alternative for a quick bite. Â The bad reviews might be from cultural misunderstandings as english was a bit difficult at times. Â Overall a good sushi experience. Â They deserve better reviews then what they are getting.
Review Source:They refused my business because I wanted to change out a fish because of a food allergy. Â Even after I offered to pay more. Â I was STUNNED. Â Makes sense why no one was in the restaurant during lunch time. Â I will never go here again. Â This is obviously a business that has no clue on how to win customers over.
Review Source:Fate dealt me a cruel hand last night. I had intended to go to a friend's house to cook her dinner, but she had to push back my arrival time, so she offered to place an order for pick-up here and I could grab it on the way over. I was initially reluctant because I don't trust many sushi restaurants; they're so ubiquitous that finding a good one is a bit of a crapshoot. Secondly, my friend informed me that she hadn't eaten here before, she'd only seen it when she was in the shopping center. This was where I should have stepped in and made some other suggestion, but I decided to go along with it. Now, I would have looked them up on Yelp before she ordered, but she also couldn't recall the name, so by the time she did figure out what it was called the order had already been placed. As I drove down, I decided to pull them up on Yelp and instantly felt a pit in my stomach as I noted a 2-star average based on 2 reviews. I knew this wouldn't turn out good...
I arrived and grabbed my order. She got a spider roll, tuna roll, some kind of eel roll, a yellowtail roll and edamame. Total was a higher-than-expected $36. I wasn't sure how long it had been sitting there, so I drove it to her place as quickly as I could and recoiled in horror when I popped open the styrofoam containers - I could tell by sight alone that this meal, should I be able to get it down, would provide me with a first-class ticket to the porcelain altar.
Where to begin... the edamame was tepid and, sadly, would prove to be the highlight of the meal. The eel roll was cold, slimy, discolored and mushy. The spider roll proved to be the least-worst roll, but that may have been thanks to the crunchy tempura masking the mushiness of everything around it. The tuna roll was repulsive - it smelled like an abandoned fish market on a hot summer day and the fish was so pink it almost looked artificial. I gave up on the yellowtail roll when it collapsed under the delicate touch of my chopsticks. Even the ginger looked like it might give me dysentery.
We prodded and poked about our plates for a good 15 minutes before I broke the tension by stating this was some of the worst sushi I had even eaten in my life. She agreed and started to wrap things up for the trash bin when I stopped her. Sorry, but there's no way I'm paying $36 of my hard-earned coin for this tripe. So, I packed things up and decided to drive back in an effort to get a refund.
I arrived and the cashier asked what was wrong. I bluntly stated that their food was terrible and I would like a refund. The Japanese, as you may know, don't take kindly to insults, which this was most certainly being viewed as. She informed me that "nobody ever complain" about their food. I said regardless of whether that's true or not, I'm complaining and I think it's horrendous. Then she started talking to the sushi chef, who really got worked up. She started in with me, then he did before I finally had to break out my Sicilian charm to remind them that I don't give a shit who says what about the food, I'm not pissing away $36 on a crappy meal and I want my money back right now. She then tries to tell me that if I were eating in a restaurant and I didn't like the food, then I'd still have to pay. Uh, excuse me, but where is this magical place where I don't have a say in things? You had better believe if I ate something this nauseating - anywhere - I'd refuse to pay, especially when it's not even half eaten! Finally, they relented and offered me half my money back since I had eaten the edamame (oohhh, what's that, a whopping $4?) and most of the spider roll. At this point I just wanted to get the hell out of there, so I took my credit and was informed that I wasn't welcome back. News flash: I just returned the food you served me. If you don't think I'd rather eat turds from a toilet bowl than a single piece of fish from your joint, well then you simply haven't heard anything I said. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place like it sprays you with a mist of AIDS and cancer when you set food inside.
